The Kingdom of Stuart is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord High Steward James fitz James with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 9.111 billion Stuartians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dundonald. The average income tax rate is 11.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Stuartian economy, worth 443 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,634 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lord High Steward James fitz James has just been declared ruler of Stuart in an international press conference, Calvinism has been named as Stuart's national religion, new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Lord High Steward James fitz James", and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Stuart's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Calvinism.

Stuart is ranked 107,209^th in the world and 24^th in Dixie for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,328.2 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
